Here's The Awkward Moment When Carrie Underwood's Sound Stopped Working At The Inauguration

Well, in case you needed a clearer sign of what the next few years are going to be like, the sound during Carrie Underwood's performance at Donald Trump's inauguration should give us a hint.

Carrie had already caught some flack for performing at the convicted felon's inauguration, justifying the move by saying, "I love our country and am honored to have been asked to sing at the Inauguration and to be a small part of this historic event. I am humbled to answer the call at a time when we must all come together in the spirit of unity and looking to the future.”

Today, the country music singer took to the stage, which was moved inside reportedly due to cold weather, to sing "America the Beautiful" with the Armed Forces Chorus. A 30-second silence ensued.

Then, just when it seemed like the music was working, the audio swiftly cut out before she could begin singing.

In the awkward silence that ensued, Trump looked solemn.

At least some people seemed to find it funny:

A full minute of silence later, Carrie said, "If you know the words, help me out here," before singing acapella.

The camera panned to some in the rotunda joining in on the song, as well as Doug Emhoff looking slightly uncomfortable behind Carrie:

The MAGA crowd are praising Carrie's talent in the face of technical difficulties, while others were far more funny about it:
